The Designer's Tools. I find it extremely amazing (and telling) that my STABILO OHPen 196P (Marker/pen for overhead slides, waterproof) from 1983 (stolen from GGK Düsseldorf ad agency), now used exclusively for the labelling of CD/DVD ROMs, still works. In fact, it's fabulous and still generates pure black lines and writing. As you can imagine, I've been using it frequently over the years. Contrary to the five STAEDTLER LUMOCOLOR 313 permanent pens, which I bought 2 years ago and which are all dried out now. What's that supposed to tell us? I don't know. Although I do, actually. Does anyone know if those STABILO pens still exist? I'm too lazy to google. Thank you. 5:58:26 PM   Designer's Tools | |
